Porcelain Two Doves Figurine

This item is a decorative porcelain figurine depicting two white doves, likely representing peace, love, or companionship. The figurine is crafted from white ceramic or porcelain with a glossy finish, though some areas, particularly the base, appear to have a matte or unglazed texture in spots. Each dove is intricately detailed with textured feathers, and their beaks are painted a soft yellow with subtle pinkish or reddish accents around the top of the beak and eyes, giving them a lifelike appearance. Their eyes are dark, suggesting small painted pupils. One dove is positioned slightly in front of the other, with its wings partially spread upwards, giving a sense of motion. The other dove is nestled behind it, also with raised wings. Both birds are perched on a base designed to resemble a natural landscape, possibly snow-covered ground with green foliage or moss. The green elements on the base have a somewhat textured, almost sponge-painted appearance, providing a stark contrast to the smooth white of the birds. The doves' feet are visible, painted in a yellow-orange hue, and show distinct talons gripping the 'ground.' The overall craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with fine attention to detail in the birds' anatomy and feathering. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant damage, though some wear or minor manufacturing imperfections might be present on closer inspection, such as small areas where the paint or glaze may be uneven on the base. The style suggests it could be from the mid to late 20th century, possibly a mass-produced decorative item due to its common motif. Measuring approximately 8-10 inches in height and width based on its context next to household items, it serves as an ornamental piece.
